The moment Molly first stared at Lucas, she was dazzled by his charming good looks. She stood up bashfully and held out her hand to Lucas.
"H—Hello, I'm Molly…" said the shy girl.
Lucas nodded but did not shake her hand. "Hi. Please, have a seat."
Molly was so embarrassed with her hand still hanging in the air, so she took back her hand and sat down uneasily.
Cedric and Beatrice exchanged glances, startled by Lucas' reaction. How could he embarrass the poor girl like that?
Lucas sat gracefully on the armchair and started some small talk with the guests like a gentleman. He was polite yet somehow distant. The guests understood that he had no interest in entertaining them, so they excused themselves before long.
After Cedric and Beatrice saw the guests off, they turned and glared at Lucas.
"Lucas! You don't know what you're missing! Molly is such a nice girl, yet you wouldn't even show a friendly smile to her? How rude of you!" said Beatrice angrily.
"Grandma, I'm not ready to get married yet. You and Grandpa really should stop trying to set me up with some girls," replied Lucas indifferently.
Cedric scoffed and said, "You're not ready to get married, you say? When will you be ready for that? Are you planning to stay single for the rest of your life? You're over thirty, and it's time to start a family! Even Sunny and Moonie have found their other half. You're their elder brother, so you should start planning too!"
Lucas shrugged. "I quite enjoy my single life now. What's there to plan?"
"Y—You little brat…" Beatrice clutched her chest and started gasping.
Lucas quickly stood up to hold her. "Grandma, are you okay? Quick! Get Grandma's heart medicine!"
"No! Leave it! I won't take it!" said Beatrice stubbornly.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
